simrupt: A device that simulates interrupts

simrupt is a simple Linux kernel module to explain the concept of deferred work and kernel concepts as following:

  • circular buffer
  • mutex lock
  • irq
  • softirq
  • tasklet
  • workqueue
  • kernel thread

It can be also used as a template to implement an IRQ-based device driver.
